Answer to Question 1

A
Inability of the right ventricle to pump blood forward into the lungs results in peripheral congestion. Edema is a sign of increased fluid in interstitial tissue and appears in dependent areas of the body such as the sacrum when supine and the feet and ankles while in an upright position.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nursing interventions include measures to prevent disease progression and complications. Reteaching about medication will not identify the cause of noncompliance.
